该奖项将为六名科学家提供资金， 直接的微化学设施，服务于大量的 在自己和其他机构的调查。 这笔资金将 用于获得和分配用于测量的合成肽 蛋白质测序程序的灵敏度和准确性在这些 和许多类似的设施，并加强合作和联系， 这些设施之间。 该项目的总体目标是增加 设施提供的服务质量。 使用微量化学技术进行测序， 蛋白质和DNA合成在现代生物学中占有重要地位， 生物学 由于大量的设备投资和 由于需要人员，这些工作通常在中央执行。 为一大群调查人员服务的设施。 现在有 在美国有近百个这样的设施，这个奖项将有助于 确保每个人提供的服务具有统一的高质量 并且与蛋白质测序的现有技术一致。

This award will provide funds to a group of six scientists who direct microchemical facilities that serve large numbers of investigators at their own and other institutions. The funds will be used to obtain and distribute a synthetic peptide useful for measuring the sensitivity and accuracy of protein sequencing procedures at these and many similar facilities, and to increase cooperation and contact between such facilities. The overall aim of the project is to increase the quality of service provided by the facilities. The use of microchemical techniques for the sequencing and synthesis of protein and DNA now occupies an important role in modern biology. Because of the substantial investment in equipment and personnel required, such work is most often performed in central facilities that serve a large group of investigators. There are now nearly a hundred such facilities in the U.S. This award will help insure that the service provided by each is of a uniform high quality and is consistent with the state of the art in protein sequencing.
